Just announced. His name is something Al Garib? Of course impossible to spell. He is also the brother of another Al Qaeda biggie.

Anyone have a bead on this guy? Thanks!

Everybody please refrain from posting until we have at least 2-10 official names that are documented. It makes searching these sobs out really tough.

Yes, he is Something Al Garib. Google search has lots of Al Garib's, but none named Something.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Fox identified him and I was hoping someone would have something on this guy. And a proper spelling too.

Freepers have been speculating who he might be.

Five al-Qaida suspects handed over to U.S. as police probe possible link to Daniel Pearl slaying

"Among those captured and since handed over to U.S. custody was Umar al-Gharib, a brother of al-Qaida leader Tawfiq Attash Khallad, a U.S. defense official in Washington said on the condition of anonymity. Khallad is thought to be one of the masterminds of the deadly October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole off Yemen. "

THANKS> Isn't Umar al-Gharib the one whose name was not revealed until today? He may not be big but his brother sure is.

Don't be sorry, you posted the breaking news.

I had just made a reply on another thread where we have been spending a day or so going back and forth trying to identify another creep. We have him as a "Munawar Iqbal" (identified in that thread as "Iqbal Munawar"). We, also, have him as Iqbal Butt and Munawar Butt.

Dennis, if you get this creep's correct name and spelling please put it in the key words section.

Thanks!

This is a bigger picture of Al Goron Garib, another al Qaeda cRat, wanted for bribery and stupid acts from Jan 1993 to Jan 2001.

Warning, Al Goron Garib, can be very dangerous if he starts to mouth his left wing mantras at you. Several people have been hurt as they tripped and fell while trying to run away. Others have split their heads as they fell asleep during one of his dangerous monotone diatribes and crashed into their desk with their head or even worse on to the floor from a standing position. This evil al qaeda cRat has never met a tax, he didn't fall in love with.

Al Goron Garib is very notorious. here are just a few of his inventions:

the internet, the screw-in light bulb, the water glass (and the similar yet distinct ice tea glass), global warming, global freezing, the pocket protector, and the butterfly condom to prevent pregnant chads..

He is sometimes known to be disguised with a beard and was last seen kissing a blonde bimbo and shouting, "I need my Norwood-Dingle!" If spotted, he should not be approached as he has been known to bore those around him into a comatose state.

That sounds like the same dangerous individual, whose picture I posted. He has some many personalities due to his mental disorder, it is really hard to keep track of what personality he is under each hour of the day. :)

He is a doer in that organization. I think he is wanted as a central character in the African Embassy bombings (back in the days the USA was on the defensive). This is good news. Hang em High.
